The Shield
The Shield had help from an unlikely source

Seth Rollins and Sheamus started the action. The Lunatic Fringe Dean Ambrose went at it next and the second half of The Bar, Cesaro took control after he tagged in.

Once Rollins was in the ring with AJ Cesaro, the Green Bay crowd was clamouring for AJ Styles. Rollins heard this and complied. While he was on the other side of the apron, The Miz distracted AJ and Cesaro took advantage and attacked AJ.

The heels even used distraction tactics to ensure they triple teamed AJ. However, Rollins and Ambrose made sure to even things out for the babyfaces. The 3 triple suicide-dived the heels.

After the break, Cesaro and Ambrose were locked up and The Lunatic Fringe was struggling to make the tag. Sheamus was tagged in and they prevented the tag and attacked Ambrose more. Sheamus was met with huge "You look stupid" chants.

Ambrose was finally able to counter and gain some advantage once Cesaro was tagged in. The Swiss Cyborg tagged in Sheamus and was almost met with a dirty deeds right off the bat. He managed to prevent it but hit a rebound lariat clothesline and got Rollins for the hot tag.

The Miz was tagged in and Rollins went bonkers, even hitting a Falcon Arrow. An offence for offence sequence took place between the members of the teams and the sequence ended with The Miz planting Rollins face, only for a two-count.

After the break, The Miz was hitting Rollins with Yes! kicks while Ambrose and Sheamus went over the barricade while Cesaro tagged himself in. Rollins gave the hot tag to Styles who received a huge pop.

Sheamus' distraction led to AJ being met with Cesaro's vicious uppercut. Rollins and Ambrose cleared Sheamus and The Miz from the ring followed by a suicide dive to the two.

Just like Braun Strowman, Kane demanded competition

After the break, Kane was still waiting in the ring. A highlight of the TLC match last night played.

Kane started talking about Braun Strowman and how he wanted competition. He started indirectly putting over Strowman and said that "he liked what he heard" about him and had to see it for himself. He then called Strowman a pile of trash.

He said that he put Strowman where he belonged and that he saw fear in Strowman's eyes. He said that he'll always be RAW's only monster. He said that with Braun gone, he wanted competition.." or else"

Who came out? None other than the man who defeated AJ Styles last night: Finn Balor!

Emma shoved Asuka into the post and back in the ring and gained some control. Emma even landed a nice lariat on The Empress Of Tomorrow.

Asuka bought herself some time when she hit a missile drop kick onto the Oz. Emma tried to strike Asuka, which was a bad idea of course. She then struck Emma viciously and quickly, following up with a suplex and a hip attack. Emma kicked Asuka's head into the turnbuckles and tried to get more out of it but Asuka being as smooth as she is transitioned quickly into an Asuka lock. Emma couldn't do anything this time around.

Enter captio
Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar did not think of Jinder Mahal as worthy enough to be taken seriously

Paul Heyman seemed taken aback by the fact that Jinder Mahal thinks that Brock Lesnar is THE champion in WWE. He was talking about people wanting to trash talk. He said that he rightfully praised Goldberg, Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman, but talked down Jinder Mahal, after which everyone burst into laughter.

He said that Mahal wasn't even worthy of being a pretender to the throne of WWE champion. Heyman directly said that Lesnar doesn't give two hoots about representing RAW at Survivor Series. He said that the brand that brands Brock Lesnar is the supreme brand, the #1 champion and the place to be in WWE.

He accepted Jinder Mahal's challenge at Survivor Series and The Beast Incarnate made his way out.

Wha
What was Alicia Fox's gameplan in this triple threat bout?

Alicia Fox started by attacking both Sasha and Bayley, even brushing off a comeback from The Boss. She landed a beautiful northern lights suplex onto Bayley.

Alicia Fox got kicked out of the ring twice. She seemed to land pretty badly. Back after the break, Fox was in the ring with Banks, who had control of the veteran. She got a head scissors on Fox. The veteran caught Sasha and told her she's cute before she slapped her. She went for a suplex but Bayley powerbombed both of them. Fox kicked out at two.

Alicia Fox walked outside the ring and rang the bell. Why she was doing that one can only wonder. She went inside the ring and Bayley almost rolled her up and then hit a Bayley-to-Belly. Sasha broke up the pin on time.

Sasha and Bayley went at it inside the ring. Bayley was getting ready to finish her but Alicia Fox was behind Bayley imitating her, even hitting her with the Bayley-to-belly. She went for a scissors kick but got caught in a Bank Statement. She managed to nearly reach the ropes and shoved Sasha into Bayley and then ended up pinning Bayley.

Kurt Angle announces team RAW but gets besieged by SmackDown Live

Enter
Kurt Angle got a lot more than he asked for when he was set to make an announcement

Kurt Angle was ready to announce team RAW, but Shane McMahon interrupted and he came through the crowd. He brought a lot of the huge names on the SmackDown Live roster with him.

You could see The New Day, Becky Lynch, Chad Gable, Natalya, Bobby Roode and many more. Kurt Angle left the ring and Shane McMahon told his team to go get them. They went backstage.

Backstage, everyone ran into Apollo Crews and Titus O' Neil and pretended to be friendly, attacking them instead.

Baron Corbin attacked a random technician backstage, while Bobby Roode slammed the TV screen that said RAW.

Rhyno, Goldust and Curt Hawkins were the next victims of this invasion. They went into the locker room and attacked Jordan, Matt Hardy and Finn Balor. The siege continued on the locker room, getting The Club, Elias and more.

The next was a confrontation between the women, and the women of SmackDown successfully assaulted Bayley, Sasha Banks, Alicia Fox and Mickie James.

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins were next, getting obviously outnumbered. Kurt Angle was pulled by both Rusev and Baron Corbin, seemingly giving him a showcase of the destruction caused.

Things went back inside the ring while Angle was dragged it. Shane McMahon told Angle to bring his Olympic Gold Medal and what's left of team RAW because they'll finish what they started.
